RERA Complaint in Coimbatore

Gift deed

Settlement deed — the 1% instrument

Revenue record of land ownership

Ownership and classification extract

Government value driving duty

Transition-period projects may fall outside registration

Because Tamil Nadu notified its rules later than most states, projects launched around the transition sometimes escaped registration. Establishing whether registration was legally required is the first step in a TN complaint.

Plot promotions and DTCP approvals

Chennai and Coimbatore have a high volume of plotted developments. DTCP or CMDA approval status is central to these complaints, and unapproved layouts limit the relief RERA can give.

Choose one forum — RERA, consumer court or NCLT — not all three

The same grievance can often go to RERA, a consumer commission, or the NCLT if the builder is insolvent. Filing in parallel weakens your position and can lead to dismissal. The right forum depends on what you actually want: refund, possession, compensation or interest.

An unregistered project narrows your options

RERA registration is mandatory for most projects above the threshold. If the project was never registered, the Authority can penalise the promoter, but your remedy for delay or refund may be better pursued elsewhere.

Insolvency changes everything

Once a developer enters insolvency, a moratorium under Section 14 of the IBC halts RERA proceedings, and homebuyers must file claims as financial creditors in the resolution process instead. Continuing before RERA at that point achieves nothing.

Delay interest accrues but must be claimed correctly

Interest for delayed possession runs at the rate prescribed under the state rules, typically linked to SBI's highest marginal cost of lending rate plus a margin. Claiming an incorrect rate or period is a common reason awards fall short of expectation.

Choosing a gift deed where a settlement deed was correct

As across Tamil Nadu, a gift deed attracts 7% plus 4% while a settlement among family attracts roughly 1%. On Coimbatore's higher-value RS Puram and Race Course properties that difference runs to several lakh.

Industrial and textile-unit land classification

Coimbatore's engineering and textile belt means much property is on industrially classified land with SIPCOT or SIDCO allotment conditions attached, which restrict transfer.

Corporation expansion absorbed surrounding panchayats

CCMC's expansion brought former panchayat areas into the corporation with legacy records that do not always reconcile, and mutation applications filed against the old body are simply rejected.

Should I use a gift deed or settlement deed in Coimbatore?

For most family transfers a settlement deed is far cheaper. Tamil Nadu taxes a gift as a conveyance at 7% stamp duty plus 4% registration, while settlement among family attracts roughly 1%. On a ₹2 crore Race Course property that is the difference between about ₹22 lakh and about ₹4 lakh.

Which Sub-Registrar Office covers Saravanampatti or Peelamedu?

The eastern IT corridor including Saravanampatti and Peelamedu is served principally by the Peelamedu and Ganapathy offices, while RS Puram and Race Course fall under Coimbatore North and South. Jurisdiction follows the property's location.

Can I buy a SIPCOT or SIDCO allotted industrial plot?

Usually only with the allotting authority's consent. Industrial plots carry allotment conditions on use and transfer that survive a registered sale, and the authority's own records must be updated separately for the buyer's position to be secure.

My property was in a panchayat that CCMC absorbed — where do I apply for mutation?

With Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation, not the former panchayat. Records from absorbed areas do not always reconcile cleanly, so we establish which body currently holds the assessment before filing rather than after a rejection.
